It’s wonderful to learn more about fellow bookbloggers through memes such as this, and I’m definitely glad to know more about you after reading your answers, Iliana. 🙂 I’ll keep this meme in mind for my future post. 😉
What, no chocolate on your list of favorite food? 😉
You’re the second person to mention Jo Walton in the last couple of days–I guess I really do need to look for this book! Fun meme–I always like finding out interesting things about my online friends!
Loved learning more about you, Iliana!!! Take it easy. That working weekends thing gets old. I worked Saturday and am counting the days until vacation time off next week.
I have wanted to go to Guanajuato for years now. What’s it like?
What a sweet meme, thanks for doing it! I always like getting to know other bloggers better 🙂
Enjoyed reading your responses. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get past page 10 in Love in the Time of Cholera, LOL.
Nice answers 🙂 I’d rather be on vacation in Germany myself!
Come back to bruges so we can meet up! 😉
I love this meme!
I did this one a few weeks ago–such a fun way to learn more about fellow bloggers. I haven’t read any of the books you recommend but love two that you would read over and over (Handmaid’s Tale and Remains of the Day). Guess I need to check the rest out!
Melody – I do hope you get to do this meme. It’s so fun to learn new things about our friends isn’t it? 🙂
Stefanie – Oops! I should revise the list 🙂
Danielle – It really is such a sweet book. I am hoping to do a post with Kailana where we chat about the book so stay tuned!
Andi – It really does. I like a lot of things about my new job but it’s been quite demanding and I can’t seem to stay ahead. Must figure out something soon!
jenn, aka the Picky Girl – You must go! It’s so beautiful. Filled with historic sites and wonderful people. It’s also very close to San Miguel de Allende which is another gorgeous town. I’d love to go back one of these days.
Willa – I’m glad you enjoyed it. Hope you do it too 🙂
Anna – Oh I understand. I think that’s one of those books you either love or don’t.
bookworm – I’ll be there later in the year so I’m excited!
Joanna – I hope I can go one day! It’s such a beautiful place. I was there for a week a few years ago and loved it. Would like to see more of Belgium too of course.
Kathleen – Hope you get to do it too!
Trish – Did I miss your answers?! Goodness, I swear I feel like I’m so behind lately. Those are awesome reads aren’t they?
I’ve heard of breakfast burritos but not breakfast tacos. Sounds yummy! I love, love, love The Remains of the Day.
I LOVED this meme!! And I think this will help me get back to writing a post lol! “o*
